2016

The Joe Zanchin Scholarship of Excellence was awarded to Daniele DeSimone for 2016!

Hailing from Woodbridge, Ontario, home of the Zanchin Auto Group hub, Number 7 Honda, is Daniele DeSimone.

Daniele studied Environmental Studies for 4 years at McMaster University and after graduating he realized that his passion was actually working on cars.

"This was kind of my hobby," he said, "Cars have always been my passion. I finished school and didn't like what I was doing, so I thought was better to do than the thing I like doing in my spare time?"

So, from there DeSimone started studying at Centennial College to become a mechanic. This is where he flourished and he knew this was the right career for him.

DeSimone was very surprised and excited when he learned that The Zanchin Auto Group had selected him as the 2016 recipient of the Joe Zanchin Academic Excellence Scholarship. He said this would really help him finish paying off his previous schooling and hopefully go toward more schooling in the future.

DeSimone is now working as an Apprentice Technician at Number 7 Honda and is looking forward to learning all he can in this position and with the Zanchin Auto Group.
